Productivity - no matter how maximized
- is useless without the means to really enjoy the time you save

Every day in my work, I get to help people bring about change in their
lives and experience more freedom by showing them how to use technology
to increase their productivity. But what's interesting is that increasing
productivity is only as good as how you invest the time you save or the
efficiencies you gain.

Many of you, who read my blog, live in the United States or another country
with similar liberties and prosperity. But what if you didn't? What if
you lived in a place where you weren't able to do many of the things that
you cherish so much? Gaining an upper-hand with productivity would be a
lot less attractive.

How much more successful we are when we're simply AWARE of how successful
we already are.

This weekend, I had the opportunity to preview a web
site that gave me pause to
reflect on a most basic element of life that I (and maybe you too) often
take for granted.

That element is "freedom." Not just in the literal sense, but
in terms of all it entails: Freedom to choose what you want, do what you
want, be what you want, and the "ability" to achieve the wealth
and circumstances required to make that freedom take form in your life.

The site is about two people's life-long quest to come to America from
Moldova (former Soviet Union).

A friend of mine, Greg
Fisk, is working to help Chirill
and Ludmilla Trescencov realize
their dream of coming to America. Chirill and his wife have won a green
card lottery, which will allow them to legally come to this country.
Now, they are working to raise the funds to pay the agency fees for the
paperwork that will bring them here. (Greg shares their moving story on
the site.)

You can follow the details of this adventure at Coming
to America, where Chrill and
his wife will be blogging about the experience. Imagine
what it would be like of the folks coming through Ellis Island, each blogged
about their experience in real-time. Well, this comes close.

I hope that you will visit the web site, and consider participating in
their dream, or at the very least, send them an email of encouragement.
